@ngujen, sounds more and more like my kind of birth control, lol.

@wendy_hammett, that's horrible, sounds like a lawsuit to me! seem like most women have terrible experience with that damn thing!!! :-(

@ftm-jess, no you don't need stitches! they wrap up your arm after, you might have a hole there, but it'll close. I saw my friends :)

@ftm-jess, my friend had the mirena and it took them an hour to find it because it got lost 😭

@ftm-jess, i had it for 2 months , and im not sure, its pretty scary tho, a friend of my moms had the same problem and when her baby was born, the mirena was on her babys face, it left the shape of the mirena on the babys forehead. so im definately scared when it comes down to it

@wendy_hammett,

wow that's insane! how long did you have it until you got pregnant? won't it be in the way during labor?

@ftm-jess, yeah, i have to get an xray after the baby is born so they can see if they can find the mirena anywhere in me

nope not having that then @wendy_hammett

i had the mirena iud, but i became pregnant while on it

@edomke, thank you . I don't know it that's something for me.

The patch made me regular. Before my period was all over the place and yes you just put it on wherever you want. But it does have a lot of hormones. That's what my doctor told me so it made me a little emotional

@gabrielle_d, I may be able to keep track of taking it if I have my alarm set for it,lol. we would definitely wait till he turns 3 or 4 years old.

Lol yeah that's what I thought too. I just had a reminder set every night I took it. I've missed it though before 😕 I just think the pills the easiest to get off of and get preggo @ftm-jess

@gabrielle_d, I'd be scared I'd forget to take it,I think as of now the implant sounds like the best option for me

@ngujen, do you get stiches after they put it in?

I just used the pill for about four years before getting off it. I never had problems like weight gain or anything. I might go back to that after the babies born. My friend had the shot and it made her emotions psycho! Lol then she tried getting off it to try for a baby but couldn't get her period back for months.

@alainalovesmommy, yes I don't think that's something for me... :-/

yeah it's pretty much like a bandaid , you switch it every week on the same day and after the third you take a break . but since you don't want babies back to back I don't know how much you can trust the patch

@ftm-jess, I haven't gotten on it yet, but I have friends who are! For some people. it takes a couple months for your cycle to be normal, but a friend of mine says it made her cycles regular. She use to have irregular cycles that lasted a long time and this was the only BC that helped her! :)

@alainalovesmommy, how does the patch work? it's like a "bandaid" right? sorry I'm clueless over here

yes it's every 3months @ftm-jess

@ngujen, that's not bad ! is your cycle regular?

@kevynnsmommy0316, so you have to go get the shot every 3 months? I don't know if I want that...i hate needles.

you have to get it replaced every 3 years. they numb you when they insert it and take it out.

I'm on the patch , only been on it for 3 days so i don't know if it causes all that but mostly all BCs do it

@ftm-jess, it's good for three years!

I have the depo shot its for 3months I haven't gained weight but I do have alot of hair loss and headaches here and there

@ngujen, how long is that good for? I was interested in something long term since we don't want our babies back to back

a lot of the birth controls have those side effects, it doesn't mean you'll get them though. I plan on getting the nexplanon, implant in my arm

I think that is the iud , my doctor recommended that. I read that some woman had the same issue and I was like hell no!!

don't get the one that goes In your vagina, my sister in law had that and it like ripped out her uterus. I don't know all the details I didn't wanna ask
